The new Democratic post-maste.

The new Democratic postmaster
at Dayton "put his foot in it, very
badly by getting out Of humor at
the Dayton Democrat, because it
did not abandon its years of Gus
tom and attach his name at the
bottom of the advertised letter list.
He even went so far in his little
ness as to refuse the list to the
Democrat. The Democrat continued
business at the old stand, and fl
nally Gillespie discovered what h
Ounce he had made of himself and
the Democrat now receives the list
and it is published without the p.
ms name. Some men do swell
too big for their boots when they
get into an official position, and it
looks as if Bro. Gillespie was one
of them.

Toledo Bee: The only two con-
stitutional Judges on the Supreme
Bench are Owen and Toilet. They
voted no on the Dow law cases.
The others believed the law to be
unconstitutional, but being elected
for partisan purposes they were ex-
pected to heave the constitution
over in the back yard of politics
and come up smiling with a false
opinion. The did their party duty
and are being lauded to the skies
by the organs.

together. No matter if the tariff
would be raised to $500 a barrel,
he would only spend the more free
ly among those who do not need
it and who do not earn it.
This infant industry business is
played out, the people understand
it and before long will take time
and pains to give some of oppres-
sors back seats.

The government pays $1,000 in
pensions each day, not one cent of
which goes to a rebel soldier
There is a growing suspicion that
Republicans who asserted that the
pensioning of the rebel soldiers and
the payment of the rebel debt would
be one of the first steps of a Demo-
critic administration were just a
trihe off in their predictions.

There is a very general desire on
the part of the people for relief
from the excessive taxes which
come down to the present from wal
times. The bill presented by'Mr.
Morrison did not meet the appro-
baton of the country, and was re-
jected, yet the very small majority
by which this object was accom-
plished shows clearly that not on
ly are the people demanding relief
from oppressive taxation in the
shape of custom duties, but Con-
gress likewise feels the necessity
of doing something in this direc-
ton. No doubt that a number of
votes were cast in favor of the mo-
ton of Mr.. Morrison for the pur-
pose of bringing this question up
for consideration, that on q direct
vote on the Morrison bill would
have gone against most of it's prin-
cipal provisions. One thing is GER
tain that it has become the duty
Of Congress to make provision for
a reduction of the excessive reve-
nues CT the country and the sooner
this is done and the proper relief
afforded the better it will please
the public. Public sentiment is
unanimous on this subject and
they care very little who is the au-
thor Of the measure so that the de-
sired object is accomplished, with
out a disarrangement of the bust
ness interests of the country.

"The members of Congress who are

the voice of the people is against
any such a policy.

NEEDS LOOKING INTO.
How One Minneapolis Employ
ment Agency Is Conducted.


Anna Thorp, accompanied by her sis
ter and three other girls, put in an ap-
pearance at police headquarters yester-
day afternoon, and made complaint in
regard to the Minneapolis Female En-
ployment bureau, on the corner
of Nicollet avenue and Fifth
street, managed by one PlOuf. a
young man residing on the East
side. The girls claim that little over
a week ago they went to the employ
ment office and deposited 81 each with
the understanding that PlOuf was to
procure work for them inside of thirty
days. Three or four days later he no.
titled them that he had secured posi-
lions for them at Hayward, Wis, and
told them to get their trunks down to
the depot, ready to go on the 9 a. III.
train. The girls spent the last 80 cents
they had in the world in getting their
trunks to the depot, and were then
told by Mr.. Plouf that he could
not give them places at Hay
ward. The girls waited two or three
days longer, Mr.. PlOuf telling them all
the time that he would get them work.
But none came, and the girls wanted
their trunks, but the gentlemanly man
ager refused to even refund them 80
cents, enough to get them. The police
called on PlOuf, but could do nothing,
as PlOuf held a contract signed by the
girls, in which he agreed to furnish
them work inside of thirty days. OF
course Plouf keeps inside the law. but
it seems pretty rough that poor, ignO-
rant girls should be ''cOntracted'' in such
a barefaced manner.

per cent has been added for the seven
days in November, making it now APP
prOximately 46 per cent of the whole,
moved in the first two months of the
crop year.
The estimates on the wheat taken to
railroad stations and now in store to the
account of farmers is about 10 per cent,
or 80 per cent of the whole moved has
been sold, which would still leave
farmers the owners of IS per cent of the
marketable crop.
1t is very difficult to separate the esti-
mates of Minnesota and Dakota, but this
has been attempted and results in the
general estimate that approximately 80
per cent of the Minnesota crop has
moved and So per cent of that raised in
Dakota.
The best estimates on the Northern
Pacific line placed the Dakota movement
at 60 per cent on Nov. l and 80 per cent
on that line in Minnesota at the same
date. In the Red river valley the move
ment was not far from 80 per cent, and
in the James river country the average
movement was A per cent Nov. 1. TAX
ing the whole line of the Chicago Il
Northwestern road in Minnesota and
Dakota, the movement had reached a
fraction less than 35 per cent, while
the Omaha figured about So per cent.
The Milwaukee road had reached at its
stations from 20 to 40 per cent in Min
nesota and 40 to So in Dakota, OF on
the whole about 40 per cent. The
Fargo Southern has taken in some At
per cent, while on the Fargo d South
western not less than 60 per cent had
left the farm.
North of Grand Forks was probably
the heaviest average yield of any large
section. and that on the west side of the
river, all the way up to the north line
of the territory, turned out on the
average 2216 bushels per acre. and more
than so per cent of it is out of the hands
of farmers. On the east side of the
river the crop is patchy. some heavy
yields and many light. Forty-twO eSti-
mates from as many towns in the lower
Jim river valley, averaged, gave the
yield as 142S bushels and 45.5 per cent
marketed.
